AOP Blanquette de Limoux

Terroir: Haute Vallée de l'Aude - Languedoc 
Going up the course of the Aude and getting closer to the Pyrenees, this wet and colder terroir experiences a late spring and a cool autumn. It is the terroir of choice for white grape varieties. 
 
Grape varieties and Blend: 
  
90% Mauzac
  
5% Chardonnay
  
5% Chenin 
 
Vinification: Traditional method
Our grapes are harvested manually in 25 kg baskets, they must be healthy and are grown according to the organic farming charter. We select the juices at the press in order to obtain base wines of great finesse and high acidity potential. Then a first fermentation takes place into stainless steel tanks before we create the perfect blend.
The second fermentation takes place in the bottle to obtain an outstanding effervescent blanquette.
